Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Moz Crew for All You Do,

The pop up that served this upcoming change initially offered a thumb Up/Down vote, which I voted down. I've been on this platform for 5 years and this is consistently the ONE tool worth every penny of subscription. _There was a tool before that could be added to Firefox and I know I'm not the only one who has used it, which would do much the same unless Google decided to stop serving your ip address with results. It was free and it worked great when it worked. Firefox updates killed the add on I think just this past year, but it was not as reliable and consistent as the data here. _

While I've maintained campaigns in the past, I don't need to use them consistently. I don't need them like I need a lightweight real time keyword rank check. This is a DAILY tool for myself and others like me.

Keyword Explorer, while great for sorting, managing, maintaining lists and more, is just not enough with 'not on first page' being the rank of anything beyond 10. I'm sure I'm not the only analyst to go and fill in all of those spaces on the csv I export, with my results from the Rank Tracker. I've used the 200 available in a day before and had to wait for a reset. This is an incredibly important tool and I realize I may be in a minority opinion here.

The truth is that this removal doesn't streamline or make our lives easier as consultants and analysts. If you actively use a campaign to track a specific client you work with, great, by all means adjust your branded keywords and manage your tracking effectively for that client.

However, some of us use this tool for checking rankings in specific markets for potential clients and helping to gauge whether or not campaigns (whether my campaign or another company) is at all effective.

Link Explorer is an amazing step forward and I could not compliment the versatility enough. I look forward to the growth of this utility.

I'm hoping that this will be reconsidered or even replaced after all.
